We have a communal garden around our block of flats. Each ground floor flat also has their own garden.
When my DC were small, I kept a sunshade stand by the sand pit and bench (only fixed items in garden) to use when we were out.
Neighbour, when her eldest (now6) was small, fixed up a permanent sunshade. Which then became a tent with picnic table, which now has become a fenced off area, woodchip floor, tepee, picnic table, kids kitchen, plants planted into the communal area to give shade when they grow. Plus two swings on trees bordering the next property. She hasn't asked permission from anyone and even has her own garden!
TBh it pisses me off as it's the only
flat area of ground in the garden and my DC are too old/big to use it and now they have nowhere to play e.g Badminton or frisbee.
My DD, has over the past week or so been collecting twigs and lashing them together with string to make a den between two bushes in the corner of the garden where she and a couple of the older girls fit.
Yesterday a couple of kids from over the road came over to play and help. Late last night I got a message from the mum asking if she could come today and break down the den. I've no idea why. I've said I'm in and she can call and we can look at it together.
It's in my (communal) garden, not hers.
It's built with my string!
Is a den like this dangerous for some reason?
YABU - break it down
YANBU - can't see anything wrong with a den for the summer
